My stand on revealing the IP address as requested (challanged?), "सानजी, शान नै देखाउनी खुबी छ भने त्यो अभद्र नाँगा तस्वीर टाँस्ने मान्छेको IP सहित ठेगाना, नाली बेली प्रकाशित गरम ।" is as follows: I don't want to perpetrate this instance of intolerance and cyber vandalism by trying to identify the IP address of the perpretrator. IP address does not spell out a persons name and address. IP address only shows the internet service provider that a person is using so it could be anyone using that ISP at that point. As far as prevention goes. Thanks to a similar perpetrator in the past, I have created a very simple method to deter or reduce such scenes in sajha. Previously even when a username was banned, someone could register another username right away and flood kurakani with inappropriate/blank messages. Because of similar such incident in the past I have had to come up with better ways of stopping this than to have to block the whole domain from accessing sajha. Thesedays users who register usernames have to be approved before they are allowed to post. This is to make sure that people with ill intent are not allowed to post in sajha by not approving users from few particular domains. I tend to be very lenient about approving so I started approving people from the "problem" domain as well. And it so happened that this case of vandalism also came from the same domain as the one before, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person. And the person did have reason for flooding again after few exchanges of emails few days back regarding some non issue which he believed was a big deal. In the past too this person flooded because he had a reason to. I hope this person realizes that such acts of hate are pretty useless because it obviously takes a lot of effort on his part to post such explicit pornographic images and this time it took him a total of one hour to do this act. All that effort is wasted when it takes me less than a minute to delete all his posting and ban him from posting any more in sajha. I am not going to be approving any registrations from that particular domain for a while, which is regrettable since people from that domain won't be able to post, but the bright side of it is that they will still be able to view everything. If you notice such acts in future please don't create multiple floodings. Best wishes, San
